Nighttime Routines That Actually Work for Babies (And You!)

Introduction
Bedtime doesn’t have to be a battle. Establishing a soothing nighttime routine not only helps your baby sleep better—it gives you some well-earned rest too. Here’s how to create a calming ritual that supports healthy sleep habits.

The Essentials of a Baby Sleep Routine

  • Consistency is key: Stick to the same steps, same time each night.

  • Set the mood: Dim lights, soft music, and a quiet environment signal it’s time to rest.

  • Gentle transitions: Bathtime, a clean nappy, then cuddles or a story.

Your baby’s bedtime can be a treasured time for connection—not just a race to lights out. Start small, stay consistent, and let CalmNest help with the rest.
